The winner must gain a majority, 545. Hoover’s managers say he has almost that many ‘delegates in the bag now. The last minute trend, they predict, will benefit the com- merce secretary and clinch his nom- ination before the convention read- ing clerk gets warmed up to call- ing th: roll. As Hoover's political foes see it, however, this won’t happen. They have contended all along that his managers have been taking in too much territory with their delegate s. They insirt he is far from and that events from now on to the moment of ballot- rather, right u| ing will unmake than make him.

These things, he said, tended to weaken the regime of law and breed turbulent populations prone ta war. Although not mentioning any specific legislation, one portion of the President's speech was regarded as a reference to the McNary- Haugen farm relief bill which he recently vetoed. Legislatures, he said, could not evade responsibility for exceeding their constitutional |authority by “the weak plea” to let a law be passed and have its validity passed upon by the courts.

Washington, May 30.—#)—With congress in recess until next Decem- ber after a session which ran the gamut of everything predicted for it and then some more, battle-scarred legislators were enjoying a double holiday this memorial day. Six months of freedom from legis- lative cares, five of which are avail- able for re ing political fences back home, lay before the more than 500 senators and representatives as they trekked homeward. Only wonderment at the outcome of the imminent national political battles to be fought at Kansas City and Houston was a possible disturb- ing element to clash with thoughts of renewing old friendships and plans of individual campaigns for reelection. ° The last day of the first session of the seventieth congress ended yesterday at 5.30 p. m. ended a near last minute riot in a filibustering and Dawes-applauding Senate and a singing, fraternizing and joke swapping, House.

Messengers who won through from L’Anse St. Jean and ‘Petit Saguenay, the two villages suffer- ing the most damage from the flood waters, said the food supply was practically exhausted. The town of Roberval also was prpttieally isolated and no report as come from St. Felician for 24 hours.
